Formal Verification of Floating-Point Hardware Design : Springer : 9783030871833 : 3030871835 : 05 Mar 2023 : This is the first book to focus on the problem of ensuring the correctness of floating-point hardware designs through mathematical methods. Formal Verification of Floating-Point Hardware Design, Second Edition advances a verification methodology based on a unified theory of register-transfer logic and floating-point arithmetic that has been developed and applied to the formal verification of commercial floating-point units over the course of more than two decades, during which the author was employed by several major microprocessor design companies. The theory is extended to the analysis of several algorithms and optimization techniques that are commonly used in commercial implementations of elementary arithmetic operations.  As a basis for the formal verification of such implementations, high-level specifications of the basic arithmetic instructions of several major industry-
